“LUNCH WITH A LAWYER” TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
The Ted and Kelli London Charitable Foundation, in partnership with the Ted London and Associates, is sponsoring “Lunch with a Lawyer” to commemorate Black History Month and encourage students of color to consider a career in the legal profession. Seventh and eighth-grade students of Amelia Earhart School, located at 1710 East 93rd Street, Chicago, IL 60617, attended “Lunch with a Lawyer” on Tuesday, February 18, 2025 and Thursday, February 20, 2025 at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab located at 60 East Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611 from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM.
Students departed Amelia Earhart School at 10:30 AM and traveled via charter bus to Joe’s. There, they will dine with Attorney Theodore “Ted” London and the Honorable John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. and experience a business lunch. Students will select from a custom menu curated by the chefs at Joe’s for a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Ted and Kelli London Charitable Foundation is dedicated to bridging the gap between the classroom and the courtroom, based on a belief that a diverse legal community is essential for a just and equitable legal system. Through grant programs, mentorship, and educational resources, we are committed to increasing minority lawyer representation and ensuring that all voices are heard in the courts. The Foundation is grateful to the owners, management, and staff of Joe’s for hosting this event, which has not been held at the restaurant previously. The students of Amelia Earhart School will be the first to dine at this establishment.
Attorney Theodore “Ted” London remarked , “When I was in 6th grade, we had a field trip to a fine-dining restaurant, which had a profound effect on me and my understanding that there are broader culinary experiences available. I want to be able to provide a similar experience to these students, as it remains impactful to me to this day.”
